Rumor: Microsoft dropping Microsoft Points scrip in 2012

In what seems to be a yearly occurrence, a new rumor has sprung up claiming Microsoft will be ditching its online Points system.

Inside Mobile Apps claims that "well-placed" inside sources have told them Microsoft will phase out Microsoft Points throughout 2012, which will not only affect Xbox Live, but Zune and Windows 7 Phone marketplaces.

Microsoft made its usual "no comment" statement, saying "we do not comment on rumours or speculation.”
